BTW, check the cage carefully. I realize no intrusion in your case, but ours was bent in a couple of places to varying degree with some little deformations only obvious with careful check.
Lexan already ordered from racingshields.com. No cage issues, as there was no frame or mechanical issues

Put the tierod end in and threw it on the rack tonight with Charlie. Car is STRAIGHT. 2/10ths" side to side difference and 2/10ths" corner to corner difference. Frame didn't move. Dodged a big, or should I say, bigger one.

GREAT! I can't believe you didn't bend the tub with how hard that hit looked. Almost as good news as you not getting hurt at all.

Really? If I may pry, are they charging labor to re-stack, or was there structural damage? I've heard that you are subject to being charged for all services at all tracks, including oil-dry, but I think this is the first time I've heard of an actual invoice going out.

(I could make an off-color joke about arborist bills at Summit - Jefferson ...)

WG is famous for sending out bills. Not surprised VIR is similar.
